I downloaded RubyMine and placed it under the Programming category. But after I finish it appears in the Other category instead?? However, when I installed NetBeans it automatically put itself under the Programming category. I just upgraded to Linux Mint 14.

rw-r--r-- is 644. The x bit determines whether the file manager shows foo.desktop as "foo" with its icon.

The menu category is determined by the "Categories" line.

A file for which your user lacks read permission won't show up at all, but I'm glad you got it working. (Restarting mdm, I think, was the missing step.)

I'm a noobie to the mint world, but glad I discovered.in my situation I installed and used alacarte to add it to Development -- but what's the cmd to restart mdm (it's still showing up in Other for me)?
